In Matthew 16, Jesus says He will build His church. What is the church? We get the term from the Greek compound ecclesia, which comes from two words, ek, meaning “out from” and kaleo, which means “to call.” From the very beginning, this concept of church has had nothing to do with brick and mortar…

In this final chapter of the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul sends his greeting to a very diverse group of people that God used to help build the church at Rome. He lists 35 names in this chapter that are faceless to us but were significant enough to God to have them recorded in His Word forever…
